As Bangladesh's trade and commercial relations with countries across the world continue to expand, knowledge of current currency exchange rates has become increasingly essential. Accurate exchange rate information facilitates smoother international transactions and helps both businesses and individuals plan their foreign currency dealings effectively.

On Friday, 13 March 2026, the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) demonstrated stable exchange rates against a variety of major and regional currencies. Traders, importers, exporters, and travellers can refer to these rates to gauge the relative strength of the Taka in the global market.

Key Exchange Rates: BDT vs. Foreign Currencies (13 March 2026)

Foreign CurrencyExchange Rate (1 unit = BDT)
US Dollar (USD)123.12
Euro (EUR)141.80
British Pound (GBP)164.45
Australian Dollar (AUD)87.02
Japanese Yen (JPY)0.77
Canadian Dollar (CAD)90.24
Swedish Krona (SEK)13.16
Singapore Dollar (SGD)96.25
Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY)17.92
Indian Rupee (INR)1.33
Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR)2.54
Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)31.30
Saudi Riyal (SAR)32.81
Qatari Riyal (QAR)33.66
Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)400.90
Omani Rial (OMR)320.21

The above rates indicate that the British Pound remains the strongest among the commonly traded currencies relative to the Taka, while the Japanese Yen and Indian Rupee remain among the lower-value currencies in terms of BDT conversion. Notably, regional currencies such as the Kuwaiti Dinar and Omani Rial maintain high exchange rates due to their intrinsic value.

Fluctuations in these rates are influenced by multiple factors, including international trade volumes, foreign investment inflows, and global market dynamics. As Bangladesh continues to integrate further into global commerce, real-time access to updated currency values is crucial for financial planning, risk management, and efficient transaction execution.

For businesses, understanding these rates is not just about conversion but also about forecasting costs, pricing imports and exports, and making strategic decisions in a rapidly globalising economy.
